HandwhistlerBen- Voice and Handwhistling TOGETHER!

Eb major scale. Voice and Handwhistling on the same notes. The air has to vibrate my vocal cords and still have enough left to make the toot in my hands sustain.

unlike me, i can neve tell if i am off pitch or not, i normally will sing under pitch. i would liek to have that talent of knowing.

[HandwhistlerBen]

Doing this "feat" on my Hands took many years to master. Having the near perfect pitch ear does help. When I was in my twenties up to about fifteen years ago, I had absolute pitch.....I could tell whether a note was sharp or vibratos were clashing between instruments. I came down with virtigo in my left ear, and lost some hearing as well as perfect pitch. All of my videos up here are ever so slghtly off from time to time......

Amy- It is good to hear from another Handwhistler from the Old Days. When are you going to put some of your Handwhistling videos up? Aren't you amazed how many people have Handwhistling and Handflute videos up here? The art form has really taken off.....

Hey Ben! Remember me, Amy, your fellow handwhistler from college? We checked out soprano recorder duets from the music library and ran through a bunch of them. It's good to see you keeping up with your craft. I've kept up with it also. Best wishes to you!

Billy- I am glad that you have experienced this first hand. It is very hard to land your voice and hands on the correct notes at a specific point in a song, although I keep trying!
